Action means it has to be triggered by the user, it not necessarily alters the 
file. (for example putting into an archive would be an action but wouldn't 
alter the file itself)

There is a special plugin API for that

I am pretty sure a plugin for mp3 ID3 tags is already available, depending on 
your distribution it could be in a special package for multimedia related KDE 
things.

Cheers,
Kevin
